Lake Jacob

Reviewed By MKarplus

You can trek about 5 hours from Tambo in Colonia Suiza upwards. Or you can go to Cerro Catedral, take the chairlift, walk for around 2.5 hours to Cancha de Fútbol, down 1 hour to the forest in Rucaco Valley. After a rest, a 30 min walk will take you to the end of the valley, and up you go to Brecha Negra (1 hour ). From there, downwards to Refugio Jakob (1 hour). A beautiful view, a brand new Refugio very recently built, with state of the art electric generator running of cascade water powering up heating, LED lighting, and stove, but still having a wood stove and closed chimney. Rooms for 2, 4, or 32. Just make sure to book in advance, specially from Christmas to mid Feb which is high season. You can reserve and pay in advance by transfer in local money. Paypal was about to be deployed just a week ago. Claudio takes care of the place since the late 70´s. His daughter Bianca is covering him when not around. No cell phone signal, but VHF radio available for emergency use only. Spend two nights here, so you can spend a full day at Laguna de Los Témpanos and Paso Schweitzer. Next step can be down to Tambo, or down through Casalata to Mascardi lake. Or to Refugio Laguna Negra (with guide only). Don´t miss it. Been there more than 10 times, and planning to go again soon.
